The Parents' Guide to Careers gives you clear explanations of every pathway, plus practical things you can do at home to support your teen. Inside, you’ll find:
-
an overview of all their choices after GCSE and sixth form
-
the three different qualification routes explained: academic, technical/vocational and work based
-
practical way to help your teen build the skills they'll need for applications and interviews
-
easy ways to support their study and exam preparation
-
how to find work experience and what to look for
-
helpful tips for starting good conversations about their future
Why we started
We’re Vanessa and Darius - two former school colleagues who kept hearing the same question from parents: “How can I help my teen?” We saw a gap: plenty of information for students, but almost nothing written for parents.
So in 2016, we set up The Parents’ Guide To, creating clear, up‑to‑date guidance and down‑to‑earth actions parents can trust to support their teens at every stage of GCSE and sixth form.
